Abstract

No single piece of evidence is likely to persuade opponents of the Chief Administrator theory. However, the Constitution, when read in conjunction with The Federalist Papers and the convention records, provides a coherent and convincing account of the Framers' view of the President's administrative role: The Chief Administrator. Our nation has undergone tremendous change since the ratification of the Constitution. Many will wonder what can be gained by analyzing the Founders' thoughts regarding the executive's administrative powers. This Note will not attempt to win over those who find such an analysis quixotic or irrelevant. Yet even the most vehement critics of original intent analysis may find that the Framers' understanding of the principles of sound, responsible government can enrich other interpretive modes as well as our understanding of the political science of government.
